You knew of course that I couldn't possibly let this post go by un-commented upon. Though the fashion show sequence really is pretty much of a needle scratch, and pacing killer, it remains one of my favorite parts, for evident reasons. I also love the repeated references to Schiaparelli and the surrealist movement, not only in the fashion show, but especially in Sylvia's clothes.

But for sheer drag over the top-ness, its that white silk taffeta and chiffon evening suit with the gold embroideries. Oh yeah.

I recently watched a documentary (from the OWN channel oddly enough) about Tom Ford -more of a 1 hour interview and how he works. It's all based around his return to women's fashion in 2010/2011 and he did an old fashioned show like this of his work in his beautiful studio where he announced which each model (mostly celebrities) were wearing to a small crowd. It was amazing. It's on youtube - great use of 45 minutes!
